Took me awhile to figure it out, but was super simple to fix once I got it – just change the $table_prefix in your wp-config.php file to match your database tables. * This is just one of many possible solutions, so if it doesn’t work then it must be a different issue you are experiencing… * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[mobble] [Plugin: mobble] is_retina?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-mobble-is_retina/) * [timfarley](https://wordpress.org/support/users/timfarley/) * (@timfarley) * [13 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-mobble-is_retina/#post-2893802) * Second this.

Just to clarify for anyone who stumbles onto this post: If you have a function to hide some of the menu items on the left side admin panel, like this: * ``` function mytheme_remove_menu_pages() { remove_menu_page('link-manager.php'); remove_menu_page('edit.php'); remove_menu_page('upload.php'); remove_menu_page('edit-comments.php'); } add_action( 'admin_init', 'mytheme_remove_menu_pages' ); ``` * Change the last line to `add_action( 'admin_menu', 'mytheme_remove_menu_pages');` * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[More Fields] More Fields (2.1) incompatible with WP 3.3](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/more-fields-21-incompatible-with-wp-33/) * [timfarley](https://wordpress.org/support/users/timfarley/) * (@timfarley) * [14 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/more-fields-21-incompatible-with-wp-33/page/3/#post-2449948) * Turns out the new function wp_editor has a few more capabilities and the fix is not as easy as just changing the function call. * For my use, I’m going to just switch over to plain old textareas for now – but I’m pretty sure the fix will involve a modification to this deprecated function call – on line 80 in “more-fields-settings-object.php” – and probably some other reworking somewhere because you have to no specify the HTML ids of the textareas for each place the TinyMCE WYSIWYG will appear. * Hope that helps a bit… * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[More Fields] More Fields (2.1) incompatible with WP 3.3](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/more-fields-21-incompatible-with-wp-33/) * [timfarley](https://wordpress.org/support/users/timfarley/) * (@timfarley) * [14 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/more-fields-21-incompatible-with-wp-33/page/3/#post-2449947) * For those having issues with TinyMCE and the WYSIWYG editor on custom fields – I turned on WP errors and saw this **Notice: wp_tiny_mce is deprecated since version 3.3! Use wp_editor() instead.** * I’m going to try to update the call to wp_tiny_mce and see if that solves the issue… * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Multiple Post Thumbnails] [Plugin: Multiple Post Thumbnails] Updating a Custom Post loses the Multiple Thumbnails](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-multiple-post-thumbnails-updating-a-custom-post-loses-the-multiple-thumbnails/) * [timfarley](https://wordpress.org/support/users/timfarley/) * (@timfarley) * [15 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-multiple-post-thumbnails-updating-a-custom-post-loses-the-multiple-thumbnails/#post-1642317) * I was having issues with this too, and manually deleting the custom field seems to have fixed it.

Thought I’d post my troubleshooting process for anyone with the same issue: * I went back and disabled all plugins again, but this time I also reverted back to TwentyTen theme. Everything worked as it should. I activated BuddyPress, and still no issues. Then went back to my Theme and the issue came back – so obviously something wrong with my code (kinda my thought all along). I started looking in functions.php – deleted all the code, and no more problem. * After a quick search through functions.php for the keyword “author” (the assumed culprit) I found the issue. Because my site is about books, I had set up a Custom Taxonomy called Author with the slug “author”. Changed this and all is good 🙂 * Lesson learned – stay away from obvious reserved names! * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Author parameter of WP Query not displaying results](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/author-parameter-of-wp-query-not-displaying-results/) * Thread Starter [timfarley](https://wordpress.org/support/users/timfarley/) * (@timfarley) * [15 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/author-parameter-of-wp-query-not-displaying-results/#post-2088639) * I’ve checked the database, and in the posts table every post has an associated author ID – most say 1 (default super admin, which I’ve used to create most of the test posts), yet it doesn’t return results when I put this number into the custom query. * I was able to get it working using the ‘author_name’ parameter, but only for the admin account – other users still returned no results, even when I can see posts associated with their user ID in the database. I’d prefer to do the query on the user ID anyhow, in case the names change for whatever reason. * I’ve been using `` as well, but it doesn’t seem to make a difference. As I said originally, I’m also seeing the problem on the Admin Edit Posts table, which certainly shouldn’t be affected by any custom queries that I’ve written. * Can anyone direct me where to look in the WP core for the place that `author => 1` gets translated into a SQL query? Because the db table seems to be fine, and the query is constructed correctly I assume there must be an issue with translating the custom query into an actual SQL call? Perhaps? * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Author parameter of WP Query not displaying results](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/author-parameter-of-wp-query-not-displaying-results/) * Thread Starter [timfarley](https://wordpress.org/support/users/timfarley/) * (@timfarley) * [15 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/author-parameter-of-wp-query-not-displaying-results/#post-2088632) * I’m still having problems with this same issue. It seems anytime I try to use the parameter “author” anywhere on the site, I’m seeing broken results. Like the query returns nothing. * Noticed today that the Author template page is also not showing up (I get a 404) even though author.php is in the theme directory. I turned off permalink rewriting to check the query string, and sure enough it uses the same “author=…” syntax. Could this be an issue with a mislabeled table in the database? * I’m at a loss here…greatly appreciative of anyone that can point me in the right direction. Thanks.
